A new report indicates that Jeremy Renner is currently circling the lead role in DreamWorks’ version of the Assange story, while Bill Condon is said to be eyeing the director’s chair....

By Russ Fischer/Aug. 11, 2010 8:37 am EST At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the Best Actor award went to Javier Bardem for his performance in Biutiful, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. Though Bardem also won considerable praise from the press for his work, Iñárritu’s movie as a whole wasn’t embraced quite so heartily. That might be part of the reason that a US distribution deal has taken some time to come together....

UPDATE: ‘The Lion King’ 3D Blu-Ray Trailer; Plus Full Theatrical Re-Release By Germain Lussier/May 26, 2011 9:30 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. When Disney released The Lion King in 1994, they were kicking on all cylinders.
